Title: 857 NAS Avenger
Post by: Greebo on October 30, 2020, 12:57:47 PM

Thank you to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This Grumman Avenger was flown by the CO of 857 Naval Air Squadron Lt. Cmdr. A Stuart during Operation Meridian, the Royal Navy's January 1945 attack on the Japanese held refineries at Palembang, Sumatra. This attack involved over 100 aircraft launched from four fleet carriers and reduced the refineries' output of aviation fuel by 75%. Losses were high however, 32 aircraft from enemy action and landing accidents. All the aircraft on the raid featured white and blue SEAC style roundels.
